Fusion finally says something he can be tested on - you should stick with vague pronouncements that can't be disproven.
I look forward to referencing this thread in 100 odd days.
Maybe I'm misreading things, but in my experience, people with his particular brand of cockiness generally speak from a position of knowledge.
So if I'm right, it means that we (the combined governments of the nations comprising western civilization) need to act with no delay to crush the madness of a 13th century warlord "culture" armed with nuclear weapons.
I do believe that there's an understanding between Bush and Putin, and neither will object if the other goes "mushroom hunting" in its respective "upland game area".
And if, as "fusion" threatens, the madmen do set off a nuclear blast in Moscow, the unspeakable tragedy will galvanize the world -- the civilized part, at least -- to wipe every last 13th century cockroach off the face of the earth forever. In other words, it would be the stupidest thing they could ever do. The fact that they've already demonstrated a monumental capacity for raw unmitigated stupidity does not give me much encouragement.
As an aside, I think it's a fair assumption that if "fusion" knows that his country has a nuke, so does Putin -- which may in fact be a factor in the three day warning (which by the way strikes me as being very similar in nature to Bush's stern demands to the taliban).
Along similar lines, I have to wonder just how secure Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is, and what -- if anything -- the US will be doing to ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. (or remain in them, as the case may be)
